Learn how to make a quiet adventure book with Sanae Ishida, author, illustrator, and maker of many things. The book cover, interior pages, and the characters that inhabit the book are all made of fabric and felt. Sanae loves to encourage quiet, thoughtful play time, and the soft, colorful, movable shapes provide endless hours of creativity and story making for little ones. This is a wonderful project for practicing basic sewing machine skills as well as hand embroidery. You can choose an elastic or button closure for the book, and there is also a hidden pocket to store all the felt shapes. Sanae provides templates for storybook animals, trees, and flowers, but you can also create any characters you dream up.

Loved the project. In my country there is only a synthetic kind of felt, which is too slippery. Please, Sanae, could you specify what type of felt should I order so that the shapes adhere? Pure wool, wool/viscose blend, acrylic? I am eager to get it right.

I wish the author used brught and appealing color for the book cover and leave the black page out, cause its for kids. I think babies/kids eyes should see bright and colourful pleasant colors as a book. Left impression as if she used whatever was not pity to wate.
